That's the only thing about him is that we haven't seen enough of his games; if we did, we believe that he would be a big-time booster in rankings and how the rest of the state views him. He was one of the most important pieces when we saw him this Summer as a new name prospect, and he could take that momentum to keep it going. Heath joined the rankings for the first time after a season in which he showed he could be a complementary piece.

Barnes is explosive, quick, and he hangs his hat on the defensive end, which is what the showcase could use. He challenges guards, pressures high, and plays with contagious high energy, and I just feel that we haven't seen him enough against some of the other top prospects to see how beneficial he could be. Well, this is his chance. We want to couple that with being able to attack off the dribble, knock down the open shot, and show off his athleticism as well. He's a player who could come in and boost his stock but make a point heading into a big season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3639868"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa1ab924d3a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cesar had his blow-up moment this summer when we saw him, and we likely won't see much of him this upcoming season, so putting in as many opportunities as he can to prove himself can go a long way with evaluation and rankings. We expect him to have a big year for certain, but a big performance against some of the top players in the state in the bigger classes goes a long way as a measuring stick type of atmosphere. He played hard for Morgan Dawgs, scored and made plays for teammates  in that system but want to see if he can keep that going and bring those same intangibles in an uncomfortable setting for him as well. This is a great spot to continue to grow, and we hope to see him there before he gets into the small school classification. It's his last big opportunity before then. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389131"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa1ab924d3e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When I went through rankings, Gurney might be one of my biggest misses/regrests but I do think that he'll quickly remind me of why I made a mistake with how he begins with Fall ball and the start of the year, and I'll fix it. Coming out and having a solid showcase can be an accelerator for that as we know it can translate. From what we saw from him with Morgan Dawgs as well as at Colorado Live, he can control a game if you put the ball in his hands and let him operate. He shoots it, sees the floor well, and gets rid of it quickly, and finds easy ways to score as well. We want to see all of those things at the showcase as we feel that he could really make his mark this upcoming season. Coach Ant will certainly get him in front of more eyes and on more radars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3488457"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa1ab924d423"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kolt was Broomfield's leading scorer as a junior at 11 points and over 5 rebounds a game, and still was somehow underrated.

We didn't get to see Isaak this Summer, so coming in and making everyone remember the type of player that he is will be beneficial to getting back on our minds. He played well as a Junior as he turned into a more aggressive player, and the skill started to match the size. Isaak is a gifted 6'5 two-way prospect who offers versatility, but he really wants to get inside. He's a momentum player who gets hot and attacks, and this past season, we got to see more of the scoring and rebounding that separated him. Lane has a college-ready body and can take over at moments, and we saw that at the BballCO showcase, and then he rode that momentum into the season.

Kolt was Broomfield's leading scorer as a junior at 11 points and over 5 rebounds a game, and still was somehow underrated. We want to simply see more of him and more from him, and this will give him a place to show just how talented he is. This is the spot to measure himself, but also to prove himself against some of the state's top players. Broomfield is a team that could turn some heads this year, and he's their top player, so going in with some confidence and a buzz can help. We'd love to see him get out and show some of that versatility rebounding and being productive as well for us to stamp it. Good spot to boost his stock heading into the season.
